Re: Ferrari 250 GTO, cobra, Daytona Coupe, GT40 in1/8 scale........interested?

It's round about 350$ which is not that much for a 1/8 scale car.
Shapeways sell their cars for the double.

Tell you what; if he would pop out a Ferrari 350 Can Am body to go on the Hiro 330 P4 kit (in 1/12 of course) I bet he could sell quite a few. I'd buy one if the price wasn't too insane...maybe 150 bucks or so? Same goes for the Hiro Porsche 917K kit...you could do a 1/12 917/PA body and I'm sure you'd sell a bunch of those, too.

Food for thought....

Re: Ferrari 250 GTO, cobra, Daytona Coupe, GT40 in1/8 scale........interested?

After some probs with one wheel part i finally got my Cobra today in the mail.































So what should i say?
It looks very,very awesome.But also very crispy and very fragile.
The hole body is so fragile that this is an problem.
Without some inner spacers as a sub frame its not possible to get the right measurements done.
The front hood hole got a wrong shape so the hood will not fit without some corrections.
Its a big problem,but he will give me some printable template to create a spare frame for the inside.
Maybe i will try to secure the shape with some fiberglass on the inside.

The printing quality is very good.Its made be shapeways.
He works on a solution for the fragile shape of the body.
Will continue with the solution when i got it.

regards Christian

The shape looks really good overall, but in that scale, for that price, the resolution sucks. The parts should be way smoother than that for the money. Can't wait to see it when it's all cleaned up and painted to your standards, Christian. Are you scratch-building the frame and everything else??

Re: Ferrari 250 GTO, cobra, Daytona Coupe, GT40 in1/8 scale........interested?

Right now i am not sure what i will do with it.
I will use an engine because i want to buy a daytona coupe,a GT40 and i got a Shelby Mustang and all of them needs nearly the same engine.
Want to use the engine from the part works mustangs which is an 287 Ford engine.

Should work,i think.
A frame can be bought by tdr@shapeways
Maybe i use this as a template?
My first plans was to make copies from the body,but now i dont know.

The get the right shape i get an inner cage or tube with the firewall and the wall behind the seats.This should bring the body,when its glued,into the right shape.

It would be very challenging to re-pop that body for sure, but your mold making skills are up to it. A full-on job of that car would stop many a model show cold...

In the last week i managed to get the cobra and the parts sealed under a 2k primer.
Now all are sealed and save and i will wait until i get the inner tube to get more strength into the body.

I tried to sand the rear hood and i become a nice smooth surface.This will not the last primer,but its on a good way now.
